Trump and Pelosi set collision course on immigration policy

President Donald Trump's hardening line on immigration sets him on a collision course with House Democrats that is likely to shape the next presidential campaign.
Trump's first move following midterm elections in which he stoked fears of undocumented immigrants was to restrict asylum claims by people who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border. He has also promised to try to end the constitutional guarantee of citizenship to anyone born in the country through executive action.

Both Trump and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the likely next speaker of the House, racked up political gains in the election that each credits to the intractable debate over immigration policy. It's unclear whether Pelosi is willing to make the compromises necessary to move forward -- and regardless, Trump appears ready to spend the next two years testing the limits of his executive authority and daring the federal courts to stop him.
